Fishing is Fun
It was a beautiful day for guided fishing out on the lake! No muskies were caught, but a few were spotted, and dads and sons caught quite a few bluegill, sunfish, smallmouth bass, and others. Most importantly, they had tons of fun out on the water with our awesome guides. Big thanks to Scott, Art, […]

Building Community
